In some of the most famous parables Jesus told, we unpack the unexpected reality of grace when Jesus approaches known sinners to eat with them. He tells the onlookers about the shepherd searching for a lost sheep, a woman who searches tirelessly for a single lost coin, and the father of the prodigal son who waits expectantly to greet him with a celebration. We uncover the truth of God's mercy and love for us, that He would go to any length to save a lost son or daughter, and that no one can retreat so far from God in pride or fear that He would turn His back from them. We see the fallacy of the "religious" people who take pride in what they feel they have earned before God and the importance of humility in coming to the God of mercy for forgiveness.
